Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1473: [Side Story] Deng Shentong (XIII)
Previously on Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies...
The male guard barely managed to stabilize himself, his heart now completely panicked!
Just one exchange had made him understand just how terrifying the opponent's strength was!
"Is this the strength of a Blizzard City investigation captain from the Jiangnan Region?"
They had never faced a Transcendent of this level before.
In the area surrounding Ice Flower Swamp, aside from their master Wandering Phantom, the two siblings working together had almost no one who could match them!
So they confidently believed they could easily kill any intruder. Even if it was one of Blizzard City's lackeys, they could still win.
But the cruel reality gave them a harsh lesson.
The power of Blizzard City was beyond their imagination. The reason they hadn't been dealt with before was simply because it wasn't worth the trouble.
And when real action was taken, how could they possibly match an investigation captain?
Deng Shentong landed lightly. After the brother was knocked flying, the sister quickly moved in front of him, pointing her sword at Deng Shentong in defense.Deng Shentong looked at them with interest.
"Both of you are 9000+ Transcendents. Not bad talent. Even by today's Blizzard City standards, you'd rank as second-rate."
"It's just a pity you've never received professional combat training. All your techniques are self-taught."
"And your weapons are far too crude."
He shook his head.
"I don't have much time to waste with you."
"So then, let's end this quickly!"
He raised his left hand and snapped his fingers with a crisp sound.
"Snap!" The sound echoed across Ice Flower Swamp.
The two sibling guards, hearing Deng Shentong's dismissive tone, immediately became enraged.
"You bastard, don't you dare look down on us!"
As their words fell, their bodies rapidly underwent astonishing changes.
The sister's body began to expand. Clusters of crimson spikes emerged from her elbows, knees, knuckles, and shoulders. Her skin tone turned dark red.
In an instant, she transformed into a three-meter-tall crimson giantess, her entire body covered in sharp spikes!
The brother, meanwhile, let out a low roar, dropped to all fours, and his muscles began bulging wildly.
He burst through his clothes, morphing into a five-to-six-meter-long sword wolf with a mouth full of fangs and a massive horn on its head!
Plant-type, Thorn Queen.
Beast-type, Lethal Sword Wolf!
The Thorn Queen let out a furious roar and charged straight at Deng Shentong. Her body rolled through the air, turning into a crimson whirlwind, the blades all over her body like hundreds of swords, shredding everything in her path!
"Crackle—"
Where the crimson whirlwind passed, the entire lake surface instantly shattered. The thick ice was torn apart like scraps of paper. The crimson storm grew larger and larger, sweeping across the swamp's surface as it hurtled toward Deng Shentong!
The Lethal Sword Wolf was not far behind. Its massive hooves pounded the ground as it charged in tandem with the Thorn Queen, one from the left and one from the right, perfectly coordinating their attack on Deng Shentong.
Deng Shentong gripped his longsword, staring coldly at the two rapidly approaching foes, yet making no move at all.
But in the next moment, two immense forces collided in a devastating impact!
Boom!!!!
The clash of supernatural powers unleashed a terrifying storm over Ice Flower Swamp. The thick ice beneath their feet shattered instantly, spewing out the warm water that had accumulated underground for years.
These flowing liquids, at this moment, became a source of warmth as plumes of white steam rose up.
Amber was hiding far away, watching it all unfold, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She had absolutely no idea what had just happened.
Two figures slammed heavily onto the ice.
Deng Shentong looked at them calmly.
The Thorn Queen's spikes and the Lethal Sword Wolf's sharp teeth and long horn had pierced each other's bodies.
Only in the moment before death did their eyes clear, and they saw what they had done.
"Cough, cough... This... why is this happening?"
Deng Shentong said flatly, "You simply don't understand what an investigation captain means in Jiangnan."
"There really is a monster like that person in this world, but he's an extreme rarity."
"In front of everyone else in Jiangnan, an investigation captain is an absolutely dominant force!"
Deprivation Light can rob the eyes of sight.
But if you thought Deng Shentong could only deprive people of their vision, you would be dead wrong.
The synesthesia formed by vision affects the five senses, creating illusions.
This technique is called the [Great Sumeru Illusion].
If a Transcendent faces this move without any defense, even a mere two guards who had just crossed the 9000-point threshold, even an Epsilon-class would be affected.
After killing Wandering Phantom's two guards, Deng Shentong calmly sheathed his longsword.
Facing Amber's bewildered gaze, he simply smiled faintly. "Let's go. Next up, we have to face the most troublesome one!"
Amber's heart shook. Deng Shentong had seen through the fear inside her, but his gentle words and immense power gradually soothed the unease deep in her heart.
"If it's this person... maybe he really can... save me."
Amber bit her lip hard, then hurried after Deng Shentong.
They crossed the mist-shrouded Ice Flower Swamp and arrived before that isolated island.
There was no movement on the island, just utter silence. The massive Gothic castle stood like a dead city.
Deng Shentong activated his tactical visor to detect thermal reactions on the island. He quickly found that there were at least thirty more people hidden in the shadows.
"As expected of a guy hiding deep in the swamp. Just like Zhang Yi, he loves building an absolutely secure fortress."
"But you're far inferior to that guy!"
Deng Shentong didn't rush onto the island. Instead, he stood at a distance and issued combat commands to the intelligent system.
Over a dozen kilometers away, the Snowland Iron Wolf, which had been stationed in the outer area, suddenly underwent a form change. Its weapon bays on both sides opened, receiving signals from the Nebula System high above.
Then, it precisely locked onto the assassins hidden on the island.
Moments later, hundreds of small missiles shot out from the weapon bays, trailing long white tails through the air as they arced perfectly toward the island!
Amber looked up and saw those missiles falling rapidly, like shooting stars with faint glows.
From a distance, there was no particular feeling.
But when they descended and bombarded the isolated island, an incredibly terrifying shockwave erupted!
"Boom—"
The hard ground and castle shattered like tofu. The deafening noise spread, and the invisible shockwave swept through, turning the swamp ice all around into debris.
The assassins hiding in the shadows didn't even have a chance to scream before being killed by this terrifying precision attack!
"Aaah!!!"
Several blood-soaked Transcendents burst out of the explosion, roaring as they charged at Deng Shentong!
"Reinforcement-type Transcendents, over 7000 points."
Deng Shentong calmly analyzed.
Then he drew his pistol, gripped the large gun's handle with both hands, and began taking shots at the Transcendents one by one.
"Bang!"
...
"Bang!"
...
"Bang!"
